2 blade folding hunter

[eveled]

This was a popular pattern back in the day. Nice to have two different blades, one for rough work one for finer stuff. Here is KaBar s version it's one if the beefiest I've seen. Anbody know if these originally shipped with sheaths?View attachment 938510

Is that a 1184?

I believe so. Although it does not have a model number anywhere. I'm thinking it is a contract knife. Maybe Camillus or Schrade? I have my Dad's Western and my Grandad's Frontier, and the KaBar I bought, thinking I might start collecting the different makers. I've always carried a Buck 110, but these are nice knives too.

Reminds me of a Buck 317

No model number simply means made before about 1966. KA-BAR did not put model numbers on blades until they were bought by Cole National in 1966. It may have taken a year or two to get the stamps with numbers made, nobody knows the exact dates when all models got the numbers stamped on the blades. KA-BAR had been making this pattern since at least the early 1920s, no reason for them to have any knives made for them by anyone at this point (1950s-early 1960s) in their existence.

Thanks gunsil, I did not think it was that old, or KaBar made. Thanks again.
